Centrifuges are used to separate suspensions and emulsions:
-filtering centrifuges (have a perforated drum, covered from the inside surface with filter cloth, used to separate suspensions having a crystalline solid phase)
- sedimentation centrifuges (have a drum without holes, used to separate mixtures poorly filtered by sedimentation of particles under the action of centrifugal forces, clarification of suspensions with low concentrations of solids)
- separating centrifuges (have a drum without holes, used to separate mixtures with a high concentration of solids)
The section contains decanters and filtering centrifuges with manual, scraper, knife unloading of sediment; lower and upper sediment discharge.
Applications: chemical, pharmaceutical, biotech, food, mining and other industries.
